The development of biomaterials for cardiac tissue engineering (CTE) is challenging,
primarily owing to the requirement of achieving a surface with favourable characteristics that …

Scaffolds are implants or injects, which are used to deliver cells, drugs, and genes into the
body. Different forms of polymeric scaffolds for cell/drug delivery are available:(1) a typical …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) account for the 31% of total death per year, making them

The present paper intends to overview a wide range of natural–origin polymers with special
focus on proteins and polysaccharides (the systems more inspired on the extracellular …

Growth factors (GFs) are signaling molecules that direct cell development by providing
biochemical cues for stem cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. GFs play a key …

The porous architectural characteristics of biomaterials play an important role in scaffold
revascularization. However, no consensus exists regarding optimal interconnection sizes for …

Tissue engineering is a newly emerging biomedical technology, which aids and increases
the repair and regeneration of deficient and injured tissues. It employs the principles from …

VEGF can be secreted in multiple isoforms with variable affinity for extracellular proteins and
different abilities to induce vascular morphogenesis, but the molecular mechanisms behind …

Micrometer‐sized hydrogels, termed microgels, are emerging as multifunctional platforms
that can recapitulate tissue heterogeneity in engineered cell microenvironments. The …
